Anthony Watts

Anthony began his career studying film, video, audio, and digital art in the New Media program at the Ontario College of Art (now known as OCADU) in Toronto. His broad array of multi-disciplinary skills has led to creative problem-solving for Google, Canadian Tire, The Score, Flextronics, and Games Workshop.

In 2004 Anthony co-founded Unspace Interactive, which quickly gained notoriety as the first boutique Ruby on Rails consultancy in Canada. Initially lauded as the original Rails "A-Team", Unspace invested heavily in the Ruby community while building sophisticated mobile and web software. Anthony used his passion for clean and simple UI to create The Score's first iPhone app and lent his expertise to the development of Haml and Sass (the popular HTML templating language and CSS processor).

As a small business operator himself, Anthony understands the problems faced by entrepreneurs struggling to understand the often confusing online world. Through simple tools and mentorship, he strives to make the web more accessible to small business owners.
